The Gary R. Kremer Center for Missouri Studies Fellowships honor Dr. Kremer’s legacy at SHSMO, where he served for 21 years as executive director, guiding the Society’s work to collect, preserve, and share Missouri’s history.
SHSMO offers two fellowships each year on rotating topics designed to promote scholarship in underexplored areas of Missouri history and culture.
Donations of any size to the fellowship fund will honor Gary’s longstanding commitment to the State Historical Society of Missouri, secure the Society’s ability to offer annual fellowships to a wide range of scholars, and help SHSMO carry out its educational mission for future generations.
"The fellowship from the Center for Missouri Studies enabled me to complete a project I would have never accomplished on my own. The ensuing publication of my paper in the Missouri Historical Review, titled "Mothers against the Bomb: The Baby Tooth Survey and the Nuclear Test Ban Movement in St. Louis, 1954–1969" (2018), opened new doors." ~Luke Ritter, Professor of History, St. Louis Community College-Forest Park
